mere are no limitations to
human'poesibility, no boundary
to the progressiveness of the
human race. It is for man to
Srrow, aspire, toil for and eventu
ally arrive toward the perfectfon
of ideals. It is his destiny to
disclose the secrets of the uni
verse, the secrets that he has
discovered through tireless in
vestigation and research. Man
is directing his efforts and
influence to his fellows, to inspire
their faculties along the higher
plane of thought. He is becom
ing able to magnetize in ways
hitherto unknown, and to direct
his knowledge for the betterment
of mankind. There are those
who, being broad minded, vill
admit that the body is governed
by the minrt to an alarming de
gree; are willing to agree that
mental treatment is probably
good in some cases, and that
such things as visions, appari
tions, even materialized spirits
have been known to exist, mar
vellous cures affected by the lay
ing on of hands: although they
themselves are skeptical, as none
of these demonstrations occurred
under their observation. The
countless frauds that are prac
ticed all tend to weaken one's
belief in the appearance of spirits
with recognizable human forms,
etc. It is not even necessary
that the fake-medium be a clever
sleight-of-hand performer, for
these mysterious agents of spirit
land invariably require a. room
but dimly lighted. Perhaps those
who would investigate would be
promptly put out, not wishing an
expose. The scientific mind only
can define and interpret the true
mediumship. Seeing is believ
ing. One of the most graphic
and wonderful illustrations of
this same mental healing has
actually occurred in the vicinity
of Houlton. Mrs. , living
near Trenholm, for months past
suffered from a complete nervous
breakdown, bordering on St.
Vitus Dance. So serious did this
disease become that she

First, her facial muscles became
